"Anyone who’s spent time drinking in Downtown knows about Las Perlas, the fantastic Oaxacan cantina that’s been going strong since 2010 with over 450 agave spirits. There’s now a second location in West Hollywood that’s every bit as fun. With a good-sized bar area and back patio, this is the kind of place that works just as well for rowdy groups on the weekend as it does for casual mid-week drinks with a coworker. The cocktails are fantastic (we love the strong kick from the Spiced Daisy), there’s a daily Happy Hour from 5-8pm, and another from 11pm to close Sunday through Thursday. Whatever you do though, be sure to order some food, which is currently being run by Moderno Cocina Libre in the patio. You can’t go wrong with any of the tacos (the tortillas are all made in-house), but the cochinita pibil is particularly great." - brant cox
